A Battalion consists of from 300 to 1500:

A company consists of from 80 to 250:

Currently Germany has around 800 tanks in its
enventory of which 400 are in storage.
No way even a single battalion of tanks could be
sent from Germany;They do not have that many.

Probably the story should read “company” instead
of battalion. Even fox news sometimes runs with
stories they do not verify. This story is being ran everywhere!

Still Germany is capable of sending at least
300 Leopard tanks if not more. Perhaps that 400 they have
in storage.
This is an escalation of this war for sure and there
are always consequences. Not saying we shouldn’t help but
it will lead to trouble.

From your article under Tank Battalion:Prior to the late 1980s, Soviet tank battalions consisted of three tank companies of 13 T-64, T-72 or T-80 tanks each, along with a battalion headquarters mounted in a command tank and a headquarters and service platoon, for a total of 165 personnel and 40 tanks
